Dear Parents/Guardians,
I would like to invite you to our annual Open House/Meet the Teacher Night which will take place on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. Our goal for Open House/Meet the Teacher Night is to provide parents with a general overview of our educational programs.
Parents of students in grades 3 & 4 are invited to meet briefly in the gym at 6:00 p.m. for a Principal’s Welcome. At this session, parents will also be introduced to our special area teachers and support staff. Parents will then go to their child’s classroom to meet the teachers at 6:30 p.m.
Parents of students in grades 5 & 6 are invited to meet briefly in the gym at 7:00 p.m. for a Principal’s Welcome and an introduction to our special area teachers and support staff. At 7:30 p.m., grade 5 parents will meet the 5th grade teachers in the cafeteria. Parents of 6th grade students will remain in the gym. Because 5th grade and 6th grade departmentalize, the teachers will present collaboratively in their respective locations. Upon completion of the presentation, 5th and 6th grade families will be invited to tour the classrooms to see their child’s learning environment.
As a reminder, this is an evening event for adults only. Additionally, if you have specific questions about your child, please feel free to call or email your child’s teacher(s) to set up future conferences, as needed. Individual parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for December 4th and December 6th.
I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, September 18th!
Sincerely,
Lauren Fretto
Principal

Parent-Teacher Conference Sign-Ups for Grade 6 Students Only
The sixth-grade teachers will be conducting conferences individually, which will consist of
3-minutes per student. While these conferences will be brief, it provides an equitable experience for all parents/guardians to meet with all 6th grade teachers if they choose.
Mrs. Heather Hosek – Science (Room 40)
Mrs. Lisa Lang – Social Studies (Room 41)
Ms. Deirdre McIntee – ELA (Room 37)
Mrs. Kim Monahan – Writing (Room 42)
Mr. Chris Tordy – Math (Room 35)
*Special education teachers, Mrs. Jamie Brower and Mrs. Caroline O’Callaghan, will be conducting joint conferences with the general education teachers.
On Tuesday, November 12th at 9:00 a.m., you will receive email notifications from teachers requesting that you sign up for a conference via ParentSquare. We encourage parents/guardians to schedule a conference with the teachers whom they feel it is necessary to meet with. It is not required for parents/guardians to meet with all teachers unless they choose.
Once you receive the email notification, please follow the steps below to schedule a conference:
On website: scroll down to view available appointment time slots and select one.
If you have more than one child in 6th grade, please note that ParentSquare prevents the same parent from scheduling more than one appointment with the same teacher. If this applies to your family, please reach out to your child’s teacher directly so he/she can assist you.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher or the Main Office.
If you require assistance with your ParentSquare account, please contact our IT Department at 631-893-7983 or itdepartment@babylonufsd.com.
Sincerely,
Lauren Fretto
